Permit Person - Sharon Bass

April 13, 1989

Working as a courteous permit technician for the city's Building Department can have its advantages well above the usual pay and benefits.

Just ask Sharon Bass.

"A developer, about eight or 10 years ago, asked me if I wanted a street named after me," Bass reflects. "He put it in his plans and the new developer didn't change the name of the street. It was opened less than a year ago."
